Macbeth (1948)
Inglaterra, Edad Media. Macbeth es un noble caballero escocés. Un día, después de una batalla en la que se gana el favor del monarca, encuentra a tres brujas que le profetizan que algún día llegará a ser Rey. Después del cumplimiento de otras dos profecías formuladas por las brujas, inevitablemente Macbeth se pregunta cómo podrá cumplirse la tercera, ya que el Rey Duncan todavía esta vivo y, además, tiene dos hijos que pueden heredar el trono. En realidad, en cuanto Macbeth escuchó la profecía, la idea del asesinato de Duncan no dejó de rondar por su mente, aunque, al principio la rechazó. Sin embargo, su mujer, cuya ambición y voluntad de poder es más fuerte que la suya, conseguirá incitarlo a cometer el crimen.
